İve been mixing for about 8 years, and if you listen me, one biggest secret is "there is no secret"... No magic.. Best i can tell to everyone is that the more quality and perfect record you got, perfect mix comes out. "if you have experienced ear and knowledge.
When it comes to mixing vocals, that guy is actually right. I also use the same fckin' chain I've developed thoroughout the years - in all my vocal production, but I edit it depending on artist's voice and the particular song and mix. I disagree that "there is no secret" 🤪
@@mattbukovski92 totally correct. And for sure there is secret, but its not like magic button. Plus, her was talking about esses, its okay, but big big studios have tons of mic and they are not calibrated 🤣, there is no need. Engineers buying that mic for particular vocal or source to get the tone. İf someone has much sibilance in their vocal, you should know the mic that record have no boosted frequency in that range... Blah blah blah.
The most important think we might call "the secret" is can be the chain. And the secret we might say is the way you get the source most quality and perfect way.... After that mixing will be just about coloring, contast, depth, balance. Once your vocal is very good and quality, it wont even need 150 plugin to mix or 50 technic to enhance it. Also sound selection is key too. Because sometimes no matter how perfect you got thé record,maybe the sound that producer produced is not fit with the vocal.. And when you try to created space for vocal, every mix move you do will take something from the soul and feeling. When i started İ was like him too, was believing that there is secret for perfection🤣, than reality hit my face and you will learn.
I’ve found that using 2 eqs works better for me. The first would be early in the chain and used as a “reductive” eq. The second would be after compression and as an “additive” eq. To each its own! Great video 🔥
@@Towoawawabo8it just depends on the sound quality you’re going for. an industry-quality mix would have way more than what he’s done in it. by far. if you’re on the indie level, you may prefer minimalism such as when Billie Eilish first started. it just depends on the grade of sound you’re going for. you wont get an ultra-sharp and crispy sound being minimalistic unless your mic and outboard equipment are incredible and some people WANT that sound. 🤷🏾♂️
@@relevancy1123 el soothe 2 solo suaviza las frecuencias por bandas, no agrega nada de potencia, pero si ayuda a que luego no se eleven tantos los picos si pones un eq additive
A lot of people are saying the key to a good production is a good recording. But the difference between a good and bad producer is someone who can make it sound good regardless. And if you can't you need to keep growing your skills. Good luck fam 🔥
The vocal recording/performance used in this tutorial was good, that's the trick All of this won't help if you're working with shitty recordings/production, no matter the tricks/tools you use
Before this video i was just always taking vocal chains and stuff to mix and master my songs and changed them up a little, now i really feel like i know what i'm doing, Danke aus Deutschland
U know what works better and trust me on this one (1 phase) put the eq infront of the compression and cut the frequencies u dont want to boost (aka all the frequencies except the ones he boosted) just use a simple 3 band ore whatever just use a wide band on them What that does is it gives you more headroom on those "non boosted" frequencies after the compression therefore you vocal sits tighter in the mix Otherwise (like he did) you also compress the frequencies u dont want to boost but now you are already working with a compressed signal + u are now boosting ur "wanted" frequencies on top of that But besides of that a good video ✌️ Just remember if u want to boost something cut around that "need boost" area
Hey, thanks for the video. My brother accent is dope as fuck. I watched your single ..great job my bro ..especially at your age so young doing your thing. I love everything. The quality is perfect. You did a great job my brother now it’s only the marketing. I know you can do it.

@@ayobabanla8817God bless you for this statement regarding the soul of the music.😊
You can also use a reverb calculator to have better timing on your reverb so it fits with the tempo.
Dope video!
automation always brings the production to another level, love the content.. keep up the great work
Definitely! Will do bro 👊🏽

@@relevancy1123 that fresh air is really working as an additive EQ, boosting the top and high mids
@@iamhunterreece I don't use fresh air I use Soothe 2 which is fundamentally different but better at achieving a similar result.

I don't regret subscribing on this channel. Thank you for this info. Vocal Mixing is something I have been struggling with for quite some time
The vocal recording/performance used in this tutorial was good, that's the trick
All of this won't help if you're working with shitty recordings/production, no matter the tricks/tools you use
I agree with that
garbage in, garbage outs
I owe you a lot... you made my last mix sound crazy and it's my first time mixing ever I appreciate ya king!
Very informative, no needless information or filler, easy to understand, just a great video and a great teacher. Mad respect and appreciation 🙏
Bro said 2 years ago and still sounds fire
@@Suineg_Raps haha thanks bro 👊🏽
I mean its not like he started doing music 2 years ago
One of the best Vocal Mixing Videos i ever saw👌🏻great job
Before this video i was just always taking vocal chains and stuff to mix and master my songs and changed them up a little, now i really feel like i know what i'm doing, Danke aus Deutschland
Bro thanks
This would take my mix to another level
This is some insane work👏🏾👏🏾ts is amazing!
that IMAGER tip on a punch line is gold homie....💪
i watched so many vids the last days but this one really had some new stuff and tips! Thank you a lot man and greets from germany!
Also want to note Antares Auto Tune has a sound pending on the instrument/voice you pick. It’s subtle but makes a nice difference 💯
U know what works better and trust me on this one (1 phase) put the eq infront of the compression and cut the frequencies u dont want to boost (aka all the frequencies except the ones he boosted) just use a simple 3 band ore whatever just use a wide band on them
What that does is it gives you more headroom on those "non boosted" frequencies after the compression therefore you vocal sits tighter in the mix
Otherwise (like he did) you also compress the frequencies u dont want to boost but now you are already working with a compressed signal + u are now boosting ur "wanted" frequencies on top of that
But besides of that a good video ✌️
Just remember if u want to boost something cut around that "need boost" area
The best mixing tutorial for FL studio users🔥🔥
Glad you think so!
Bro this worked like a charm for my new song I feel like my mix is so much better than the first one. 🔥
